  • vandas83 says:

    @heimlich – he looks a bit like hugh grant if u ask me. maybe thats where the pommy bit comes from

  • StuvstaBoyz97 says:

    i think that he should be in the Tiger Woods golf games why isn’t he?

  • eduarfull says:

    El golf no es deporte, el golf es Ocio y una completa porqueria para vagos parásitos humanos, sin oficio ni beneficio, buenos para nada. Son tan flojos que ni caminan estas porquerias golfistas, necesitan de un carrito para ir a la otra cancha de golf. Mas deporte seran los video juegos que esa porqueria del golf.

  • himmlerhelper says:

    @heimlich……Phil Mickelson is of Swedish descent if you are curious

  • robrobinson831 says:

    @StuvstaBoyz97 lol its cause they cant figure out how to fit his backwards shot into the game. Your right though id love to see him in the tiger woods games.

  • Theoneputter says:

    I think they should make a new one that includes phil’s 09 tour championship comeback victory

  • robg5555 says:

    I wonder how many former Tiger fans will convert to Phil’s gallery

  • emncaity says:

    And Italian.

  • emncaity says:

    Love the guy. And I love that he makes no excuses for playing the game for fun. This is a guy who really gets that he’s playing a freaking game for a living, and he wants to enjoy it, and if people don’t like it, screw ‘em. Not enough of that in pro sports. (Not to mention that he’s got supreme talent–IMHO, probably more physical talent than Tiger.)

  • emncaity says:

    Also: Gary Koch, who was always known as a nice guy and a great putter when he was playing, has no standing to be scolding a guy who’s one of the five greatest players of the last 20 years, and AFAIC one of the most talented to ever play the game, a Sam Snead kind of talent. Sometimes you get a feel that you can pull off a risky shot, and you’re trying to win the damn tournament, and sometimes you’re wrong, but if you want to win you might just say “let’s roll ‘em.”

  • emncaity says:

    I mean, as nice a guy as Koch is, he’s got way too much of the play-it-safe, top-10 mentality. That’s how he played when he was competing, that’s how his commentary runs, and it’s one reason he (and most of the rest of the NBC crew) will put you into a coma in about seven minutes flat. Give me Phil trying to win the damn tournament any day.

  • emncaity says:

    …which, still, is not to say that there aren’t a few moments now and then where you’d like to be his left brain for him and say “Hey, you know…it’s not only fun to pull off the big-risk shot, but sometimes it’s kinda fun to calculate the risk against reward and end up winning the tournament.” Just a minor tweak, not a change in the whole approach. We’ve already got too many guys who make a million a year and never win.

  • SmallDannyJW says:

    Probably quite a lot. I like both Tiger and Phil but I will always prefer Tiger.

  • SmallDannyJW says:

    I woner how fun Phil found it when he threw away the chance to win the US Open in 2006. Its fine to take these risks when your a young golfer but Phil is in at least his late 30s now, in my opinion he should have matured more mentally by now. Phil should be higher up the list of all time major victories and unless he learns from his many past mistakes he will always be an underachiever.

  • dsbeabrsb says:

    thank you very much for your comments. I hate to knock on Gary Koch because he was/is way better at golf than I will ever be, but on the tour he is a has been that never was. And sometimes it seems he has a personal vendetta against phil because he is harsh on him. but all of your comments are exactly right, phil is one of probably the top 20 golfers of all time, even though he only has 3 majors. But i will admit i am biased because i’m a huge phil phanatic.

  • jdwilson909 says:

    I 100% agree with emncaity
    phil more times than none comes out on top when he is doing something risky
    and for people to say that well “he should do this” and “he should do that more” really just need to shut their mouths
    phil pretty much knows exactly what he is doing and yes he hits bad shots like all of us and things dont end up the way they were supposed to
    but that is golf
    phil will end up in the top 5 in total number of pga tour wins
    and will end up with 7+ majors
    one of th best all time

  • emncaity says:

    Yeah, I admire Koch as a player, like I admire anybody who actually made a living playing golf; that fact alone makes you one of the best players in the world, a fact that is lost on critics too often. I’m just saying he’s terminally boring on TV, like so many other announcers (Steve Melnyk was maybe the worst ever). There is SO much that could be done to make golf announcing and golf coverage less of an ordeal to sit through, but nobody seems interested in doing it.

  • emncaity says:

    I’d probably like to see Phil win seven or eight majors before putting him in the top-top group of all time (with guys like Nicklaus, Hogan, Snead, Woods, Jones, etc.), but that’s no slam on him at all, and certainly at his best he’s a match for anybody in that group. He strikes me as a guy with Snead-like talent, just a knack for hitting the ball super-solid all the time and a swing that will wear well over time. You have to appreciate the guy as almost a force of nature.

  • emncaity says:

    I’ll tell you a Phil story that I think about every time I see the guy: I used to teach at the Univ of New Mexico and played the South course there regularly on a monthly pass that was ridiculously cheap at the time. I was pretty good, a plus-2, and could shoot the course par or under more often than not. One time I shot about a 67 or 68, came in and noticed a sign I hadn’t seen before back in the locker room…it was part of the scoreboard from the NCAA championship that had been held there.

  • emncaity says:

    …So I’m looking at the board, and that was the year Mickelson shot 61 on that course. If you’ve ever played the South, you know just how stupid-low that is. And I remember thinking, good Christ, what would it be like to shoot 68 in a tournament there, you come in and post your card feeling all butch, and the guys in the clubhouse say, “Great round–you’re only down seven shots!”?

    I mean, sixty-frickin’-ONE…I just can’t get my head around that.
